New Holland Brewing's Beer Barrel Bourbon

Readers' Choice

How does New Holland give its bourbon such a malty character? By aging it in beer barrels, of course. First, the whiskey is aged in fresh American oak barrels for a few years, then it gets three months in a barrels that previously contained New Holland's well-loved Dragon's Milk, which confers notes of toffee and caramel, and makes the bourbon a sure thing for fans of the stout it shares barrels with.
